#1 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Alum: My favorite thing about Walker Valley High School was the faculty and staff. They all genuinely care about the students. Walker Valley truly felt like a family while I was there. There was not a bad "clique" problem, everyone talked to everyone. The only thing that I would change would be pushing students to take dual enrollment classes instead of AP courses. Taking dual enrollment classes prepared me for college more than classes on campus did. Overall, it is a great school. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that lives in that area!

Chattanooga School for the Arts & Sciences (CSAS) - Upper School

#2 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Alum: What I enjoyed about CSAS was that the academics prepared you for college level classes. All of the classes were honors, blending high school and college styled assignments. The work load can be heavy and may seems overwhelming at the time, but it proves to mostly be beneficial when you get to college. The main thing I would change is that the school needs to provide dual enrollment classes. CSAS’s course work gets you ready for college, but there are only honors classes, so they don’t provided college credits. There are schools that aren’t as good academically as CSAS, but they still put their students ahead because they offer AP or Dual Enrollement classes, so CSAS should consider this to give their students more advantages academically.

#3 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Alum: It was brand new when I was a student (class of 2012) but overall I loved high school. Rolling out the IB program and not providing qualified teachers to teach AP courses was unfortunate. And I think there needs to be some requirements in order for students to enroll in honors/AP/IB classes. But in general, it was a welcoming and fun environment where I learned a lot and included passionate and wonderful teachers and students.

Webb School of Knoxville

Senior: I moved to Webb my junior year in high school and have nothing but positive things to say! Even though moving schools in high school can be hard, Webb opens everyone with open arms and the community, teachers, and atmosphere are all positive and encouraging. The college counselors and process has been incredible, and every learning experience I have had has been helping me be better prepared for college. Every day, teachers and peers push each other to not only be the best academics and students they can be, but the best people that they can be.

#4 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Senior: My experience at Center for Creative Arts has been great! CCA is a great place where you can express yourself through your desired arts. One thing that I must acknowledge about CCA is how little bullying there is compared to many other schools in the county. There is virtually none and when there is, the faculty is quick to take care of it. One thing I would change, however, would be the lack of sports and physical education at the school. PE should be a class that is taken more often than just one semester.

Senior: Rhea County High School has incredibly loving teachers who push you to do your best and who genuinely care for their students. The school is very involved with their sports, but my concern is that they are more involved with their sports teams then they are with their academics. The high school has great guidance counselors who offer loads of information to their students, as well as, being helpful with anything their students might need. I would definitely recommend that our school cafeteria lay off all the chicken they're feeding us, because chicken four out of five days of the week is exhausting. Another concern is the bullying that goes on. The high school has a zero bullying tolerance, but bullying still happens and some teachers at the school just brush it off.

South Pittsburg High School
Marion County School District, TN

#5 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Niche User: South Pittsburg High School is an awesome school. The school is filled with teachers dedicated to providing a quality education and preparing students for college. If a student is struggling understanding lessons they can go to tutoring to get extra help. This school has an above average ACT score with multiple students scoring a 30 or higher. In addition to the quality education, South Pittsburg also has quality athletics. The football team is the only team in Tennessee to win a football championship in every decade since the 1960s. South Pittsburg is unique because of its never-ending rivalry with Marion County High School, which is one of the oldest high school rivalries in Tennessee. Every year almost everyone in the county goes to the football game against Marion County. Even though South Pittsburg is a small school of about 300 students, there are great sports teams, terrific teachers, and plenty of clubs and organizations to get involved in. If I could do it all over again I would still choose South Pittsburg High School.

#6 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Senior: I transferred to this school system when I was in 8th grade. My parents separated then divorced when I was in 10th grade. This school has been with me through many emotional trials. It is a small town environment and they have treated me like family. I have been an active community member, in Beta Club, team captain for our Girl's Varsity Soccer team for two years, in youth leadership and a connect crew leader.

The one thing I would change about my school is maybe a little variety. We do not represent a very diverse culture here at Sequatchie County High School, but I am appreciative of them making me feel as though I have always belonged here.

#7 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Junior: I am a junior at Coahulla Creek and I think it’s the best school in my area. I’ve been to other schools around where I live, but none of them compare to Coahulla Creek. The teachers care about the students so much and build personal relationships with each kid. It’s unlike anything I have ever seen before. They push their students to work their hardest and to live up to their fullest potential. Also, the administration is amazing. They show up to all sports, arts, and club events no matter how minuscule or far away they are. The principal is amazing and knows every kid by name. Coahulla Creek is a close knit community where i always feel at home.

#8 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Alum: Heritage High was a continuation of strength for my foundation of success. Heritage fought me morals and motivation to work hard and gain reward. The staff was knowledgeable in my preparation for college. Care was a major part in this high school. Students were not just there for a lecture but rather a participation. Examples include presentations and essays on topics we had to teach in different classes. Overall, Heritage high school has proven to help me as I am currently pursuing my college degree. Without help and knowledge from my high school, I would not be as prepared as I currently am in college using techniques I have learned

Alum: I was very thankful
For being a part of this school! I learned how to being responsible and how to tackle my fear of public speaking and school involvement. I was able to take honors courses, participate in journalism, sing in choir, and be a character in various musicals. Great school but watch out for peers who like to cause trouble.

Senior: Everything about it! There is much more freedom to just go to school without people hovering over you and the pressures of regular high school. Bullying is non-existent and all you have to do is sign in every day you have class. It is incredibly efficient because you can save money on general education classes so that when you transfer to a 4-year (at least in my case) you don't have to pay the crazy high costs for basic classes.

Alum: Probably the best school in the area with an amazing award winning band, football, and wrestling programs. The staff is amazing by making sure the students are engaged in different programs. And the teachers are even better by making themselves regularly available to help students after class or even after school hours. If you have the possiblity of going here I seriously encourage it! And make sure to be involved in some kind of program there is something for everyone

#12 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Alum: I had a great high school experience. I had a great time at Ivy. The food was nothing to write home about, and with it being as young of a school as it is some more luxurious programs were never available. I never felt I was missing out on much though. Some good in Ivy was that I never had to deal with bullying; nor was I discriminated against. Even still, the true shine of Ivy was its teachers. In the world, proportionally, there is a handful of teachers who truly care for their students' success. In both their studies and otherwise. I have never met teachers or even professors who are willing to facilitate conversations that were so insightful; so thought provoking; so genuine. Some of the teachers I had in high school are my mentors in life. Those mentors have influenced me to such profound extent. Our conversations often bled from lessons in classwork to lessons of life which would benefit me as an adult.
Ivy was the best experience I could have wanted.

Senior: LaFayette High School is a great school with many opportunities. Most classes are challenging, but in a good way. This is a great place to get an education and become prepared for whatever you plan to do after graduating. There are countless classes and clubs to associate yourself with in order to prepare yourself for college and life. Their motto is ready for college, ready for work, and ready for life! I entirely believe they follow through with that saying every single school year.

Senior: I've had a great experience at Dalton High School! So much fun and so many good memories. I've been able to participate in a dual enrollment program with my local college, Dalton State, through the high school. This program has provided me with college experience and credit before even finishing high school. This way, I can graduate with a bachelor's degree in just a little over 2 years rather than 4, and I have a major advantage compared to other students that have only taken high school classes. I have also taken several AP classes at the high school, and they have definitely prepared me well for my college experiences.

Senior: I liked the pep rallies and going to football games! There are some nice teachers as well! I’ve had fun these past 4 years. There will be things I miss about it and things that I definitely won’t. But the things that I won’t miss about it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the schools fault , it’s more the people that I have encountered. But you live and you learn and Bradley really has been a fun high school experience!

#16 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Alum: Lookout Valley is blessed to have an amazing faculty and staff! However, as with any at-risk school, the graduation rate is very low, so the academic level is very poor. The community surrounding the school is at a low socioeconomic level, so struggles regarding lack of parental care and supervision makes subsequent behavior from students, such as teen pregnancy, gun/knife violence, and drug use very common. However, if you work hard with enough determination, it is easy to shine. The teachers are very encouraging of personal and academic achievements. Attending LVHS really opened my eyes to the struggles we still face in America as a country and education system, and it encourages me to make the most positive change that I can.

#20 Best Public High School Teachers in Chattanooga Area
Senior: High school can often feel to be so impenetrable, exhausting, and troublesome, but Northwest Whitfield has great assistance and guidance for every individual who walks through the building. Every morning each person is greeted as they walk through the door. Northwest has tremendous teachers who are willing to come before and after school or classes to help students with their needs, and they also just care for their well-being and feelings. Northwest has such great school spirit and students are often traveling to different extracurricular activities to support their friends and classmates. Although, I do wish we had more pep-rallies and school spirit for the different sports teams inside the school building. Overall, Bruin Nation is the place to be, and I am more than blessed to say that I have attended this ecstatic place for my high school career. GO BRUINS!!

Senior: This is an amazing and advanced school that goes through innovations every semester. I attended for four years, this one is my last, and it has always been a supportive school that leads me in the right direction about where I want to go in life. The teachers are always respectful to the students so long as they return the favor, and the principals are always fair with the students. The faculty promotes good behavior and manners amongst the students and will always provide a custom way of learning for each student they teach. This school never fails to blow my mind with how much it advances, and I hope to never fail to blow every teacher's mind about the work they put in every day to help me grow into a college student.

Senior: I loved Cleveland High School, The things I've been taught, the lessons I've received in the honors classes will and have greatly benefited my academic understanding of the subject. The amount of freedom with your class schedule and how much leeway there is in Class conflicts help make sure that you are in the classes you want. The extracurriculars offered are vast, I am currently enrolled in 3 clubs and Marching/ Concert Band out of personal interests. To conclude, I believe Cleveland Highschool is a great school for anyone, it provides opportunities to those willing to reach out and run for it.

In this school, I get to enjoy engaging classes that interest me like AP Literature, AP 2-D Studio Art, French Food and Culture, and East Asian Studies. There are also many clubs and organizations, and I enjoy being a part of Hixson's Archery Team. The people here are nice, and there is a lot of diversity.

We have the most wonderful administration and teachers that give 100% and support each and every one of us. Chattooga has prepared me for college by allowing me to enroll in dual enrollment classes which will save me on my college costs. I transferred from another county school so that I could benefit from this program. This is my mother and her family alma mater and the football field is named after my grandfather. We have the most school spirit and are all proud to be a Chattooga Indian. ONE TRIBE!

Senior: The McCallie School is an all boys school, that is a day and boarding school. My experience at this school has been fantastic, and it has shaped me into a man just like the motto states "Inspiring Boys. Building Men." Coming to the ridge and moving away from home was at first terrifying, but the faculty and students brought me in with open arms. From the friday night football games, to grinding out test I have made more memories than anyone else in a lifetime, and McCallie has propelled me for the challenges ahead in college. No matter how cliché it may sound I wouldn't change my 4 years at McCallie for anything in the world, it is a life changing experience. If I were a parent with a boy soon entering middle school or high school, I would most definitely look into McCallie and at least give the admissions office a phone call. It is the best decision a person could ever make!
